intsin(sqrtx)dx=-2sqrtxcos(sqrtx)+2sin(sqrtx)+C

Explanation:

I=intsin(sqrtx)dx

Let t=sqrtx. This implies that x=t^2 so dx=2tdt.

Then:

I=intsin(t)(2tdt)=int2tsin(t)dt

Now we will use integration by parts. Let:

{(u=2t,=>,du=2dt),(dv=sin(t)dt,=>,v=-cos(t)):}

Then:

I=uv-intvdu

I=-2tcos(t)-int(-cos(t))2dt

I=-2tcos(t)+2intcos(t)

I=-2tcos(t)+2sin(t)+C

From t=sqrtx:

I=-2sqrtxcos(sqrtx)+2sin(sqrtx)+C
